EAEA has published the 2024 edition of its annual Grundtvig Award booklet, presenting innovative projects in non-formal adult education across Europe.
This year’s theme, “Transforming Lives, Communities, and Society,” inspired 31 applicants whose work underscores the profound impact adult learning can have on individuals and the broader community.
The ADELE project (transnational category) and SmartFood project (national/regional/local category) were selected as winners. In addition to the winners, the publication provides an overview of all the applicant projects, highlighting the diversity of the European adult education landscape today.
In October 2024, the European Association for the Education of Adults organised the “ABC of ALE” training programme in Brussels, an introductory capacity-building workshop for EAEA members that delved into Adult Learning and Education (ALE) as a historic concept, movement, and transformative tool in society. The workshop targeted entry and mid-level professionals in the field, with the view to provide them with an overview of the concept of non-formal adult learning and education, linking it to both theory and practice.
At the beginning of November, EAEA took part in the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame (HoF) conference and its induction ceremony in the impressive settings of the University of Florence.
"We need to have the drive for everyone to get involved in it" stated Gustav Fridolin concerning sustainability and providing internal strategies in various organisations, during the first SMALEI Digital Academy Talks webinar on the environmental sustainability of adult education institutions.
